P7s are gearing up for their final fundraising push this year with a Cake and Candy stall on Friday 15th.

Any donations of cake would be gratefully received!

If your child would like to buy anything on Friday, please make sure they bring their money. Everything will be priced at 20p, 50p or £1. If possible, please try to bring change as we will have a very limited float.

P7A and P7B were researching engineering last term, finding out about famous Scottish engineers, speaking to a structural engineer from the University of Edinburgh and taking part in the Primary Engineer Young Leader Award. They had to design an engineering solution to an everyday problem and then write a letter to explain how it works and why it is important.

Out of the 15,000 entries in Scotland, we are very proud to announce that one of our pupils was shortlisted! Well done to Aaron H in P7A!

His invention design will go on show with all the other shortlisted entries in Glasgow on Friday 8th and Saturday 9th June at the Barony Hall. Click here for more information.

P7A have been finding out about Fairtrade as part of their Around the World topic. We have looked at the benefits of Fairtrade and how farmers have a better deal. We then role-played being tea farmers and tea buyers for a supermarket, to help us understand how working in a co-operative can mean a fairer deal for farmers.

Now the end is near. The News4U crew recorded our last podcast. We had the podders of the year there; Karen, Holly, Katie and Emma. It was emotional – we wanted to share the rules of the pod and also who we wanted to thank for our amazing stay at Pinkie.

Welcome back to News4U. While we have been away, the usual P7 crew have been ‘transitioned’ and P6 are now P7 in pod terms. So, there have been some changes. We also said goodbye to Mr McManus, our football coach. But we did interview him and got his thoughts about school and football. We also did a survey around the school about boys and girls football. We hope you enjoy it.

On Wednesday we had this years annual Pinkie Talent Show…. with the them of Strictly Come Pinkie!

It was an entertaining feast for your eyes and ears! We had dancing, singing, comedy and gymnastics on show. In our eyes, everyone was a winner and all were so courageous to perform in front of such a huge audience! Well done everyone. Our fabulous winner this year who took away the glitter trophy was Maddie from P6 who sang ‘The Climb’.

We want to say a big thank you to our panellists who were Mr Scott, Alan Penman, Colin Smith and Anna Potter!

Check out the spectacular event which happened on Wednesday, captured by Mr Smith and his camera.
